Canis lupus, the Pleistocene Grey Wolf, was the Ice Age species that first gave rise to a domestic population. They survived long after many other large mammals in that time period by changing their diet. Research shows that they adapted their diet over thousands of years, shifting from hunting horses primarily in the Ice Age to Caribou and Moose in more modern times.
After collecting fossils as a hobby for many years growing up, Dave Douglass opened Dave's Down to Earth Rock Shop in 1970 at the age of 20 (with the help of his parents) at 1312 Chicago Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. The shop contained minerals and fossils, mostly self-collected by the Douglass family.
